- BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT ENLISTING!

- TRUTH IN RECRUITING?

- BE ALL YOU CAN BE--GET THE FACTS!

- KNOW THE FULL STORY!

- IT'S YOUR LIFE--BE FULLY INFORMED.

The truth about the omissions and misrepresentations recruiters use when persuading people to sign up for the military. Recruiters are highly trained salespeople, and they must meet higher recruitment quotas.

An invitation to think about the role of war in our society, and how we need quickly to move away from war as a means of resolving world conflicts.

Featuring veterans and other peace activists in St. Louis: Bud Deraps and Lincoln Grahlfs, World War II vets; Michael McPhearson, Executive Director of Veteran's for Peace, www.veteransforpeace.org; and JE McNeil, Director of the Center on Conscience and War, www.centeronconscience.org/index.shtml.
